Samsung’s best bargain phone looks expensive and its back to its lowest price ever

By James On Dec 25, 2023

Samsung not only makes the most expensive Android phones you can buy, it also makes some of the best bargain phones, like this one Galaxy A54 5G, on sale now at Amazon for $324.99. That's a big savings of $125, making this fine mid-range phone the lowest price we've ever seen.

Samsung takes a lot of what it learns from the Galaxy S family and brings it to the Galaxy A54, so the design is strikingly familiar if you've ever seen Samsung's premiere Galaxy S23 Ultra. It has great displays and excellent cameras for a phone in this price range – much more versatile than competitors from Motorola and OnePlus.

Best of all, the Galaxy A54 5G is durable. It's water resistant with IP67 certification, so you can drop it in the pool without worry. It also uses sturdy Gorilla Glass 5 on the front and back, so it should survive minor scrapes and drops.

Make sure you get the right model, especially if you are going to use this phone in the US. There is a slightly cheaper version at Amazon that is intended for Latin American networks. It works on T-Mobile, but not so well on Verizon and AT&T. Look for the US network model, or whatever works for your region.
